ZONE TEXT CHANGE APPLICATIONS
ZT-4-2015
West Valley City
Amending Section 7-5-101 to allow zone change applications to the RM, R-1-7, R-1-8, R-1-10 and
R-1-12 Zones in certain circumstances
In July of this year, the City Council adopted ordinance #15-27 which, among other changes, limited
future zone change applications to the A-2, A-1, A, RE, C-1, C-2, C-3, BRP, MXD, CC and M Zones.
To provide some flexibility to this restriction, the Council directed staff to prepare an ordinance that
would allow rezones to the RM Zone under certain conditions and to allow lots smaller than 15,000 sq.
ft. on infill parcels less than 2 acres in area.
A copy of the proposed amendments is included with this report.
One of the conditions required to apply for the RM Zone is frontage on a street with a planned right-of-
way width of at least 80’ as indicated on the Major Street Plan or adjacency to existing multi-family
residential development on two sides. For reference, a copy of the adopted Major Street Plan is included
with this report. Also included is a copy of the proposed Major Street Plan the Planning Commission
will consider later this month as part of the General Plan update.
The purpose behind the requirement to have frontage on a major street is that the General Plan directs
density to major streets where transit service is available. For reference, a copy of UTA’s Salt Lake
County Transit System Map is included.
During the study session the Planning Commission discussed the possibly of amending item 4b to
increase the minimum right-of-way width and to make item 5 less restrictive. Staff alternative 2 below
offers these revisions as an option.
Staff Alternatives:
1. Approval of the ordinance amendment as written.
2. Approval of the ordinance amendment subject to the following revisions:
a. The minimum right-of-way width in item 4b is increased to 100’.
b. The last sentence of item 5 is deleted.
3. Continuance, for reasons determined during the public hearing.
4. Denial.
Discussion:
Commissioner Thomas asked what RM means. Steve Pastorik explained RM is for multi-family
development. This includes townhomes, condos, apartments, or any type of attached housing.
Commissioner Thomas asked for an example of an 80 foot road. Steve Pastorik said an 80 foot
right of way is typically five lines, two lanes in each direction with a left turn median and no
room for a shoulder.
Motion: Commissioner Meaders moved to approve ZT-4-2015 as written.
Commissioner Matheson seconded the motion.

West Valley City
Amending various sections of the Sign Code
In June of this year, the U.S. Supreme Court rendered a decision in the Reed v. Town of Gilbert case
that has implications for municipal sign regulations. In summary, the court held that a sign code cannot
contain content-based regulations without passing strict scrutiny. Passing strict scrutiny means the
regulations must further a compelling governmental interest and the regulations are narrowly tailored to
that end. Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Reed v. Town of Gilbert, staff reviewed the
City’s Sign Code and found several areas where changes are recommended.
After consulting with the City’s Legal Department, staff is still including commercial and non-
commercial distinctions in the Sign Code. This means that commercial signs with business names,
business/product logos, etc. can be regulated differently from non-commercial signs with political,
religious or other ideological messages.
In an effort to summarize the proposed revisions, staff prepared a table entitled “Summary of Sign
Types and Regulations” that is included in this report. The top half of the table lists current code
requirements for sign types where staff is recommending changes. The bottom half of the table
summarizes the proposed changes to the sign types and regulations. In several instances, sign types are
given new titles and definitions to clarify the City’s intent to regulate signage without regulating
content.
There are three types of changes proposed in this application. The first group of changes amends the
definitions of various sign types to make it clear that the City’s intent is to regulate and define signage
without reference to content. One example is the proposed change to the definition of a “name plate
sign”. The change makes it clear that the City is uninterested in the specific content of the sign and
wants to regulate only the number, size, and placement of the sign, which is now called a “plate sign”.
The second type of change is cleaning up items where existing language needs clarification or where
inconsistencies need correction. The third type of change introduces new standards necessary to regulate
renamed sign types. For example, the proposal renames “service signs” as “permanent entry signs” and
limits the size and placement of those signs.
Overall, the objective of the proposed revisions is to make it clear that the City’s sign ordinance is
consistent with the decision in Gilbert while keeping setback, height and area type regulations largely
the same.

Discussion:
Steve Pastorik explained two minor changes that will be recommended to the City Council: 1.
Be consistent when referring to his/her. 2. Change the definition of a plate sign from a sign in a
residential zone to a sign on a dwelling.
Motion: Commissioner Fuller moved to approve the ordinance with the minor clean-up
changes that were discussed at the previous Study Session.

SUBDIVISION APPLICATIONS
S-23-2015
West Valley Truck Center – Lots 10, 11, 14, and 15 Amended
M Zone
BACKGROUND
Mike Russell, representing the property owner, is requesting an amendment to lots 10, 11, 14 and 15 of
the West Valley Truck Center Subdivision. The purpose for the amendment is to modify the north/south
property line separating these lots. The proposed application will also adjust the existing north/south
public utility easement to coincide with the location of the amended property line.
STAFF/AGENCY CONCERNS:
There are no staff or agency concerns with this application.
ISSUES:
When the West Valley Truck Center Subdivision was recorded, a number of lots were platted to
accommodate a variety of uses associated with the trucking industry. Although many of the original lots
West Valley City Planning Commission
October 14, 2015
Page 5
remain, a few modifications have taken place over the years to accommodate specific uses and/or planned
future uses that do not fit within the original lot configuration.
The City has received an application from Truck Pro LLC to adjust the north/south property line separating
lots 10 and 11 and 14 and 15. The property line in question will be moved approximately 20 feet to the
west. This change will allow lots adjacent to 5370 West to be larger in size in anticipation of future
development.
An existing public utility easement runs parallel to the property line being moved. This easement will be
relocated in similar fashion with the new property line. All other existing easements will remain as
originally platted.
In regards to plat amendments, City ordinance requires that the Planning Commission forward a
recommendation to the City Council. If approved by the City Council, the amendment of this plat will
then be recorded to establish new property lines and easement locations.
STAFF ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approval of the plat amendment.
2. Continuance to allow for more discussion regarding the application.
Discussion: Steve Lehman explained that this is a glorified lot line adjustment that we are
having run through the Planning Commission to handle the public easement location. There is
nothing in the utility easement at this point. There being no further discussion regarding this
application, Chairman Thomas called for a motion.
Motion: Commissioner Meaders moved for approval of S-24-2015 as presented.
Commissioner Matheson seconded the motion.

Moulton Farms Subdivision Phase 3 – Final Plat
4400 South 3600 West
R-1-8 Zone
4 Lots
.80 Acres
BACKGROUND
Mr. David Read is requesting final plat approval for the third phase of the Moulton Farms Subdivision.
This phase of the subdivision will amend Parcel B of the Moulton Farms Phase 2 Subdivision. The subject
West Valley City Planning Commission
October 14, 2015
Page 6
property is located at 4400 South 3600 West and is zoned R-1-8. The Planning Commission granted
preliminary approval in January 2014.
STAFF/AGENCY CONCERNS:
Fire Department:
1. Fire hydrants to be installed in accordance with the Uniform Fire Code.
Granger Hunter Improvement District:
1. Project will need to run availability for water, sewer and fire protection.
2. Project to design and review inspections.
Utility Agencies:
1. Subject to all standard easement locations.
Public Works:
1. Authorization required of ditch/water users for any abandonment, relocation, piping or any
other modifications to existing ditches or irrigation structures.
2. Revisions to plat are required.
3. Follow recommendations outlined in the soils report.
Building Inspections:
1. Follow recommendations outlined in the soils report.
ISSUES:
Mr. Read has submitted the final plat for the 3rd and last phase of the Moulton Farms Subdivision.
The subdivision will consist of 4 lots on .80 acres. The Planning Commission may recall that this
property was platted as Parcel B of the Moulton Farms Ph. 2 Subdivision. Lots range in size from
8,096 to 9,799 square feet. The average lot size has been calculated at 8,650 square feet.
Access to the subdivision will be gained from 3600 West and 4400 South. Street improvements along
both of these roads have been installed. At the time the City issues a building permit for the new lots,
the builder will need to coordinate utility services and curb cuts along 3600 West with the Public
Works Department.
During the preliminary review for the subdivision, a soils report was required. This report indicates
that groundwater was not encountered to a depth of 9 feet. The report indicates that while water
conditions may fluctuate over time, it is not anticipated that groundwater would be an impact in the
proposed development.
Prior to the Moulton Farms Subdivision, the property was rezoned. During that process, a
development agreement was reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission and City Council.
Although this property was a parcel within the subdivision, it is to be guided by the same standards
outlined in the recorded development agreement. Here are the standards outlined in the agreement:
All homes will be constructed of 100% masonry materials.
West Valley City Planning Commission
October 14, 2015
Page 7
25% of all homes in the subdivision will have a 3rd car garage.
The minimum dwelling size for a rambler will be 1500 square feet. The minimum dwelling size for
a two story or multiple story dwelling will be 1900 square feet. The overall average within the
subdivision will be 1600 square feet.
The single family point system will be increased for homes with less than 1600 s.f.
Various improvements, clean-up and repairs will be made to the existing dwelling at the corner of
4400 South 3600 West.
Staff Alternatives:
A. Grant final subdivision approval for the Moulton Farms Phase 3 Subdivision subject to the
following conditions:
1. That compliance be made with Granger Hunter Improvement District regarding water line
extensions, sewer connections and fire protection.
2. That the subdivision name be approved by Salt Lake County.
3. That recommendations outlined in the soils report be followed.
4. That home builders coordinate with the Public Works Department regarding utility installation
and curb cuts for new dwellings.
5. That the developer resolve all staff and agency concerns.
6. That the subdivision be guided by the development agreement approved as part of the
rezoning of this property.
B. Continuation to address issues raised during the public hearing.
Applicant:
David Read

Discussion:
Steve Lehman presented this application. Curb, gutter, and sidewalk for the property are already
in place. David Read purchased the property primarily to preserve the older home. David would
like to move into the older home after some improvements are made. Caretakers are currently
staying on the property to prevent vandalism.
Motion: Commissioner Toupou moved for approval of S-24-2015.

CONDITIONAL USE APPLICATIONS
C-35-2015
Wild Ginger
4758 W. 4100 S.
C-1 Zone (1.0 Acre)
The applicant, Van Nguyen representing Wild Ginger, is requesting conditional use approval for a
multi-tenant building for the property located at 4758 West 4100 South. The property is zoned
neighborhood commercial (C-1) and the West Valley City General Plan designates this area as
neighborhood commercial. The surrounding zone is R-1-8 to the north and east, with C-1 to the south
and west. The surrounding land uses include the Hunter Library to the north and east, a credit union to
the west and a physical therapy office to the south.
This item was continued from the July 22, 2015 meeting to allow time for the applicant to resolve some
grading issues and elevation differences with the adjacent site.
There are currently two single family residential homes on the parcel. Salt Lake County records indicate
that the homes were constructed in 1959 and they are currently vacant. The applicant plans to demolish
the homes on the parcel and develop the property into a multi-tenant commercial building. The tenant
mix would include a restaurant, market and retail/office space.
This property was rezoned from R-1-8 to C-1 in 2013 (GPZ-6-13). A development agreement was
included with the approval with requirements that would help achieve a building design that would be
compatible in terms of scale and architecture to other businesses in the area and reflect a neighborhood
feel. A copy of the Development Agreement has been included for your review.
The building will be constructed of stucco, with stone and metal panel sections, as well as awnings.
There is a single story portion that will include a pitched roof and a two-story portion with a decorative
parapet.
There are 70 parking stalls provided on site. The proposed tenant mix includes a restaurant (2,930 sq.
ft.), a market (4,588 sq. ft.) and also retail/office (5,088 sq. ft.) that is located on the second level. With
the shared parking arrangement on site, 69 parking spaces are required.
The C-1 zone requires that the site contain 20% landscaping. The applicant is showing that 21.2% of the
site will be landscaped. This includes the frontage along 4100 South which is listed as a High Image
Arterial and subject to the requirements set forth in chapter 7-13, of the West Valley City Municipal
Code. The development agreement also requires that a concentration of landscaping be added along the
south and west sides of the building to enhance and soften those façades.
There is currently an existing 6’ masonry wall along the north and east sides of the site that separate this
use from the Hunter Library. The development agreement stated that the City Council wanted a
pedestrian connection provided between these two sites. The wall was constructed by the Library and at
this time they will not permit any alterations to the wall.
Currently, the grade on the property slopes from the southwest corner to the northeast. Initially, the site
plan showed a retaining wall along the north and east sides of the site within the 5’ landscaped parking
buffer. Staff had some concerns with how this would be laid out and the possible impacts to the existing
West Valley City Planning Commission
October 14, 2015
Page 9
masonry wall. The applicant was able to re-work the grading on the site and reduce the grade change at
the property line so the retaining wall along the Library property is no longer necessary.
A dumpster has also been provided in this southeast corner of the site. Since the adjacent property is
zoned R-1-8 the dumpster must be set back at least 20’ from this property boundary.
Signage will be located on the building and there may be a monument sign installed in the future. The
design of that monument sign would be similar to the architecture of the building. All signage must
comply with all the requirements set forth in the West Valley City Code.
Staff Alternatives:
Approval, subject to the resolution of any issues raised at the public hearing, and the following
conditions:
1. All requirements set forth in the Development Agreement shall be met (see attached
Exhibit B from GPZ-6-2013).
2. There must be adequate parking provided for the proposed tenant mix.
3. The landscaping must be installed per the approved plan and in accordance with the
Standards for Landscaping along High Image Arterials.
4. The dumpster must be setback 20’ from the adjacent residential zone boundary.
5. Signage must comply with the West Valley City Code.
6. All additional requirements of affected departments and agencies must be met.
Continuance, to allow for the resolution of any issues raised at the public hearing.

Verizon Wireless
2938 S. Redwood Rd.
C-2 Zone (5.12 Acres)
Verizon Wireless is requesting a conditional use for the construction of a roof mounted antenna at 2938
South Redwood Road. This property is zoned C-2, General Commercial and the West Valley City
General Plan designates this area as a Commercial/Light Manufacturing. The surrounding zones include
C-3 to the North, Manufacturing (M) to the west, Agricultural (A) to the south and R-1-8 to the east
across Redwood Road. The surrounding uses include and office/warehouse to the north, an assisted
living facility on the same parcel to the west (Oquirrh Meadows), the Utah Power and Light corridor to
the south and east, and some single family homes to the east as well.
Verizon Wireless would like to install one roof mounted antenna on top of the existing building at this
location. The antenna is 6.5’ tall as measured from the top of the parapet wall and is set back 9’-3” from
the exterior wall, which complies with the location standards set forth is section 7-23-206 of the WVC
Municipal Code. Verizon Wireless has not proposed to add any screen type structure around the
antennas and feel that screening will be more visually intrusive than the antennas alone. The antenna
will however be painted to match the building.
There is an existing fenced equipment area located adjacent to the south side of the building. It is a
masonry enclosure with privacy slat screening in the access gate. The equipment includes one cabinet
and a generator is not proposed for this site.
Staff Alternatives:
• Approval, subject to the resolution of any issues raised at the public hearing and the following
conditions:
1. The antenna shall be installed per the approved plans and in accordance with Chapter 7-
23 of the WVC Municipal Code.
2. The antenna shall be painted to match the colors of the existing building.
3. The supporting equipment shall be located in a screened enclosed area per the approved
plans.
4. Must comply with all other relevant requirements set forth from applicable department
and agencies.
• Continuance, to allow for the resolution of any issues raised at the public hearing.
Applicant:
Pete Simmons
5700 S Greet Street
Salt Lake City, UT 84123
Discussion: Jody explained that Verizon is supplementing their 4G network by installing newly
designed, smaller cell antennas. These smaller antennas have less visual impact on surrounding
neighborhoods and take less space than larger antennas. Pete Simmons said Verizon does not intend
to change these smaller antennas into macro sites in the future. If Verizon goes to a 5G or greater
West Valley City Planning Commission
October 14, 2015
Page 11
network in the future, Pete Simmons anticipates changes will mostly be made to the macro antennas.
Commissioner Matheson is not in favor of screening the antenna because the screen looks like an out
of place chimney.
Motion: Commissioner Tupou motioned to approve C-46-2015 subject to the conditions listed
above. There will be no screening on the antenna.
Commissioner Fuller seconded the motion.

Verizon Wireless
2508 S. Redwood Rd.
C-2 Zone (1.22 Acres)
Verizon Wireless is requesting a conditional use for the construction of a roof mounted antenna at 2508
South Redwood Road. This property is zoned C-2, General Commercial and the West Valley City
General Plan designates this area as Mixed Use. The surrounding zones include Manufacturing (M) to
the North, Residential/Multifamily (RM) to the west, General Commercial (C-2) to the south and R-1-6
to the east across Redwood Road. The surrounding uses include and retail to the north (Latino Mall), 4-
plex residential (Lakepark) to the west, the Hazen Nursing Home to the south and single family homes
to the east across Redwood Road.
Verizon Wireless would like to install one roof mounted antenna on top of the existing Sinclair gas
station at this location. The antenna is 5’ tall as measured from the top of the parapet wall and is set back
9’-9” from the exterior wall, which complies with the location standards set forth is section 7-23-206 of
the WVC Municipal Code. Verizon Wireless has not proposed to add any screen type structure around
the antennas and feel that screening will be more visually intrusive than the antennas alone. The antenna
will however be painted to match the building.
The equipment will be located adjacent to the south side of the building adjacent to some existing
mechanical equipment. The equipment includes one cabinet that will be painted to match the existing
building and it is located on a concrete pad. A generator is not proposed for this site.
Staff Alternatives:
• Approval, subject to the resolution of any issues raised at the public hearing and the following
conditions:
1. The antenna shall be installed per the approved plans and in accordance with Chapter 7-
23 of the WVC Municipal Code.

2. The antenna shall be painted to match the colors of the existing building.
3. The supporting equipment shall be located on a concrete pad and painted to match the
existing building.
4. Must comply with all other relevant requirements set forth from applicable department

5. Substantial alterations to the building elevation may require screening of the antenna as
determined by the Planning Commission.
• Continuance, to allow for the resolution of any issues raised at the public hearing.
Applicant:

Salt Lake City, UT 84123
Discussion: Commissioner Thomas asked if the building was to be demolished and another
rebuilt, will they need to come through with another conditional use request? Commissioner
Woodruff feels that if the building was changed, a review on how the antenna looks would be
appropriate. Brandon Hill suggested we add a fifth condition so that if something on the building
such as elevation change that made the antenna more obtrusive than it is now, we would have a
chance to review it at that point. Harold asked to add that as a fifth condition to the motion. All
were in agreement.
Commissioner Fuller asked if we set a precedent for not screening when we allow people not to
screen antennas. Jody said we can review each antenna on its own merit. Jody is not aware of any
large, roof mounted antennas that are screened. The ordinance says that the Planning Commission
determines whether or not antennas are screened.
Motion: Commissioner Fuller motioned to approve C-48-2015 subject to the five conditions
above. There shall be no screen on the antenna.

Page 13
The applicant, George Padilla, is requesting conditional use approval for a used auto sales business. The
zoning for the property is C-2, General Commercial. The West Valley City General Plan designates this
property and the surrounding area as general commercial. The adjacent zoning is C-2 to the north, south
and west, and Single Family Residential to the east. Adjacent uses include single family homes,
undeveloped land, retail and office/warehouse.
The existing business on the property, No Crack Glass, began operating in 1986. The applicant is
proposing to add an auto sales use to the property. No major changes to the building or the site are
proposed. The applicant will operate out of a small office space in the north-east corner of the building.
The hours of operation will be Monday – Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. There will be no auto washing,
servicing or repair performed on the property.
The parking and maneuvering areas on the site are currently paved. Eight parking spaces are required
between both businesses for employee and customer parking. There are currently two service bays in
the building, but only one is used by the glass business. The other bay is a storage and work area. The
second service bay shall not be used, or else three additional parking spaces will be required on the site.
There are also two carports on the property that can remain if a building permit is obtained.
The landscaping on the site is currently deficient. The 10’ area along the rear property line needs to be
landscaped with at least 50% live plant material and have one tree for every 300 sq. ft. of landscaping.
There was a building addition done in 1995, PR-21-1995, and the site plan shows there were to be trees
in the front landscaped areas and shrubs along the north landscaped area. There was some discussion by
the Planning Commission in the study meeting that shrubs might be more appropriate in the narrow
landscaped area along the front of the property. Currently these areas are only lawn and will need to be
completed as outlined in the conditions of approval.
There is a non-conforming pole sign in the north-west corner of the property that has been altered and
needs to be removed. The non-conforming pole sign for No Crack Glass in the south-west corner shall
not be altered without compliance to all provisions of the current sign ordinance. If any additional
signage is added to the site it shall comply with Title 11.
Staff Alternatives:
Approval, subject to the resolution of any concerns raised at the public hearing, as well as the following
conditions:
1. Automotive washing, service or repair work shall not be conducted on the site.
2. Other than used car inventory on display, there shall be no other outside storage permitted for this
use.
3. The eight (8) required employee and customer parking stalls shall be striped per the approved site
plan.
4. All used car inventory shall be parked in the location shown on the approved site plan. No cars shall
be parked within the first 20’ of the front property line, in any parking stalls, maneuvering areas or
access drives, or in any landscaped areas.
5. Three (3) trees shall be added to the north-west corner of the property, and the narrow grass strip in
the in the middle of the west edge of the property shall be re-landscaped to include 50% live plant
material consisting of shrubs and perennials. The back 10’ of the property shall be landscaped with
at least 50% live plant material and have one tree per every 300 sq. ft. of landscaping.
6. The unimproved north-east corner of the lot shall not be used for commercial purposes.
West Valley City Planning Commission

7. A building permit shall be obtained for the two carport structures on the property within three
months of the issuance of a business license.
8. All requirements of affected departments and agencies must be met.
9. The pole sign in the north-west corner of the property shall be removed within three months of the
issuance of a business license.
10. Any new signage shall meet all regulations contained in Title 11 of the West Valley City Code.
Continuance, to allow for the resolutions of any issues raised at the public hearing.
Applicant:
George Padilla
3295 South Redwood Road
Discussion: Commissioner Matheson asked if it is legal to park the cars for sale on the property
close together. Brock Anderson said parking the cars close together is acceptable as long as parking
complies with condition #4.
Commissioner Tupou asked if the second bay were brought into use, if it would come back to the
Planning Commission for review. Brock Anderson responded that if both bays were used, it would
not need to come back to the Planning Commission, the glass company using the bay would need to
provide three more parking spaces on the site, which would reduce the number of cars that could be
sold there.
Commissioner Matheson asked if there is an existing pole sign on the property. Brock
Anderson said there are currently two pole signs on the property that are not in compliance because
the property must be at least ten acres to have a pole sign. The applicant could perhaps put a
monument sign in the Northwest corner of the property. Any changes to the existing sign on the
Southwest corner of the property would require that the sign conform to all regulations of the current
code. A building permit will be required to put in a new sign.
Commissioner Thomas said she noticed a rack of windshields being stored outside on the
property. George Padilla said the windshields belong to his brother’s glass company which is also
on the property. Brock Anderson responded that the windshields will need to be stored inside the
building to be in compliance with condition #2. George Padilla said he will inform his brother of
this.
Motion: Commissioner Fuller moved for approval based on the ten items listed.
Commissioner Meaders seconded the motion.
